Basics. when wanting to go side by side inside the wake or even trying to get out of the wake. This is when you want to put either pressure on your toes or heels. This will get you moving by your self without having to use the boat. But remember only be using presser. Keep your upper body level and balanced. When going on your toes that is when ur going to have to balance more. When on your heels it feels more natural but works both sides equally. When going into or onto a big wave or a lot of waves make sure your knees are bent but not too bent just to keep your balance. this is the best way to get through all rough water won’t ever stop or knock your done again.

Hope these were some helpful tips so you can go buy some great wakeboarding equipment. Or helpful tips for those beginners or both. Thanks for reading.
